Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Re: [cf-satellite] Proposal for band dimension and coordinate variable

All,

A situation that needs to be considered:  How to represent a single band
file?  For example, can this be done w/o creating a 3D variable with
'band dimension' = 1?

yes, one can have a scalar coordinate in CF:

float data(y,x);
  data:coordinates = "wavelength y x";

float wavelength;


although i slightly prefer:

dimension wavelength = 1;

float data(wavelength,y,x);
  data:coordinates = "wavelength y x";

float wavelength(wavelength);
because it means you cant ignore the wavelength dimension. but its a matter of taste (and distaste).
